The event occurred on October 2, when a white 2013 Chevrolet Aveo approached the primary inspection lane at the checkpoint. As the driver was being questioned regarding their immigration status, a service canine alerted to the presence of concealed humans and/or narcotics within the car. The driver was subsequently referred to secondary for further inspection.

While at secondary, agents conducted a thorough inspection of the car, successfully finding 87 bundles concealed throughout the vehicle. All bundles, which tested positive for methamphetamine, weighed 50.01 lbs. and had an estimated value of $1,728,000.00.

The narcotics, vehicle, and driver were turned over to the Drug Enforcement Administration.
